Pethi returns to his Greek island Serifos from school, expecting a quiet enough holiday.

But Tini, his friend from England, has a theory about ancient treasure: a theory that draws them into excitement and danger, into mysterious echoes of the myths themselves.

Unanswered questions arise. Old words carved in stone: have they a secret meaning? What is it that Vleppo, black cat extraordinary, understands better than anyone? The strangers who watch Pethi- are they after the treasure or is Tini right to be afraid? In the village, old women are gossiping and nobody will say why.

Jealousy springs up; and pride, anger, fear. Pethi and Tini have to deal with confusing emotions while at the same time the peace and beauty of their island are threatened.

In the sudden storms and unexpected sun of an Aegean December there are dark forces and bright. Some to destroy, some to bring happiness.
